The war on Christmas, and Thanksgiving, and Columbus Day, and...
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Columbus Day has been attacked every year because Christopher Columbus supposedly personally carried out genocide, a complete fabrication by Marxists who are famous for falsifying history for ideological purposes. For those students who are not obsessed with Columbus's "crimes," their ignorance of his achievement is cringe-worthy. While Indigenous Peoples Day started innocently enough in 1989, leftists now want to put it in place of Columbus Day, thereby tarnishing both holidays.
Halloween is becoming less and less fun as liberals either cry out "cultural appropriation!" or claim that certain ethnic costumes (Polynesian, Mexican, Arabic, Oriental, etc.) will put someone in a coma. For some unstated reason, even the name "Halloween" is objected to in favor of ..."Orange and Black Day" (doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, now does it?).
Valentine's Day is under attack in India and in Muslim countries and here as well from liberals. Campus Reform had a mock petition for outlawing Valentine's Day that the mindless cattle – that is, the college students – signed. Jamie Glazov gives a detailed analysis of the parallels between the pathological hatred of Muslims and leftists for Valentine's Day, a day of love.
And, in the case of Christmas, their focus has been on removing the fact that it is a birthday celebration for Christ, hence Christmas, hence "Christmas tree" – which they have tried to rename as "holidays tree." Some places have banned Christmas decorations altogether. Some ads have even removed all presence of Christianity from Christmas to the point of including Muslims. This way, they are being "inclusive" – except for excluding Christians. The war on Christmas is not being undertaken in isolation.
In case you hadn't noticed, it's now Thanksgiving Day's turn. Yep. Nothing is sacred to liberals. Even some leftist Jews have attacked it – when not glamorizing Jewish holidays. With their odious, joyless outlook, leftists have targeted a beloved holiday when family members travel to gather and be with one another, a day to take stock and be thankful for what you have, a day to commemorate the peaceful friendship between Pilgrims and Indians. The fact that both Christmas and Thanksgiving have a religious overtone makes them an neven bigger target for leftists. Some have used their hatred of Trump to attack the White House Christmas decorations.
At least PETA put a smile on our faces by wanting to erect a memorial to the turkeys that died in an Iowa traffic accident.
The truth of the matter is that leftists do not really hate Halloween, or Columbus Day, or Thanksgiving Day per se . The attacks on the holidays are just the tip of the iceberg. Saturated with hatred, deep down, their real hate is for the country, the society that they live in; the holidays and the anthem are just manifestations of America (or Canada). They are addicted – yes, addicted – to hate. That is one of the characteristics of a liberal personality.
In their minds, to hate one's country, one's race, one's sex, and one's religion is the height of intellectual achievement and makes them intellectually superior to the rest of us. I disagree with this self-assessment.
Do notice that Christmas, Valentine's Day, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving Day all embrace the concept of love in one way or another.
Regardless, leftists are not going to be very successful in abolishing Thanksgiving Day. Or Halloween. Or Valentine's Day. Or Christmas. Or the National Anthem. Not even in California.
But they will try. In the meantime, pass the gravy.

What is with this 'poor me'? First of all, it is disingenuous to get your knickers in a twist because people aren't sufficiently 'christian' for you, when you support the most unchristian, ungodly, lying treasonous criminal who bangs and pays off or marries porn stars and nude models. Just stop already, the evangelical christian crowd has lost their moral compass.
I say Merry Christmas to whoever I want and get friendly greetings in return. My street is goddamn Christmas wonderland candyland and people are driving through right now. We also celebrate Valentines day. Which is my birthday. My Jewish friends also often get CHRISTMAS TREES! I live in So California. The entire 'war on my favorite holidays' is total nonsense bullshit. I don't know where you live, but I doubt you have any of the problems you mention either.
I live in the territory of the future state of Jefferson. We have many really nicely decorated neighborhoods here in Redding. No one bothers with waging a war on Christmas or the 4th of July around here.
Then stop posting bullshit about a fake 'war'. And you'll never be part of anything but CALIFORNIA, so suck it up. The rest of the state does exactly what you do with Christmas and the 4th.
Sounds like your war on [holiday/s of choice] is just as fictional as your territory/state of Jefferson.
In 2004 Bill O'Reilly started his nonsense about "a war on Christmas" extending to the Post office's issuance of new religious stamps.
In 2015 The Daily Caller picked up a similar story drumming up fake outrage against the Obama Administration.
I remember the typical members here and "over there" getting themselves all twisted in liberal hate fests.
It turns out that in 2015 ( as has happened many times before) the Post office was overstocked with previous issues of all religious stamps and did not need to commission or print any new ones.
No war on Christmas, just typical inventory control.
The oldest example of a war on Christmas in North America was actually laws passed by New England Puritans in 1659 though 1681 outlawing the celebration of Christmas and "other superstitious holidays"
Feliz Navidad !
Then naturally, his legion of followers fell for it and ate it right up.
O’Reilly was right then and it’s gotten worse since then. At least now the national administration is not waging that war. The hate filled bigots that are the Wisconsin based FFRF though are waging it non stop.
Not even a little. It's just mindless fear mongering or playing on emotions which more gullible people fell for.
It never was.
An erroneous statement and an ad hom attack to boot. Congrats.
These stamps are available at the USPS now. I know that because I have them. I put them on the cards that I sent.
Who has banned Christmas decorations?
A business can use any religious symbols that they want on their advertisements. Its the protected free speech of the owners.
Sad how so many far right wingers use their religion as a poor, poor pitiful me whippingpost.
Organized religion wouldn't/couldn't exist without the martyr syndrome.
Happy holidays all.
Pretty sure that if there was ever a state of Jefferson it would be funded by pot growers.
After the movie, many of my friends now celebrate Ground Hog Day in the hopes of redemption by doing good deeds (or just for the hopes of a good party).
You have a merry one and a happy one lib.
They have to manufacture "The war on...."
I've also bought and used Eid and Kwanzaa stamps.
Except that most Jefferson supporters oppose legal pot so they would probably outlaw it.
Bought a roll of 'forever' American flag stamps years ago. I'll never end up using them all. Something to will to my siblings when I die.
This atheist says MERRY CHRISTMAS! without even a flinch. Why are you trying to be so divisive? An agenda?
You're not taking away MY Christmas with your exclusionist attitude. The horror of Muslims celebrating a holiday? Oh you poor baby. They have a right to celebrates Christmas, and rename it anything they want to while doing it. If Christians can't play nice then maybe they should be excluded. I, for one, am going to enjoy my SOLSTICE HOLIDAY! Happy holiday everyone.
Solstice. The reason for the season.
Had planned on going ice fishing today but there just isn't enough ice to support my weight. Might never be again.
When was legislation introduced that would outlaw Christmas? Does this 'war' exist anywhere but the mind of author who, once again, is claiming victim-hood?
"We can say Merry Christmas again!!!!!"
Donald trump.
Sorry....when was saying, "Merry Christmas" outlawed?
The bias and bigotry against all religion based holidays un culture, in progressive courts, in progressive localities and school districts is plain and clear for all to see. The things described in the seeded article have happened and progressives false denial that they are waging a war against the celebration and observation of all Holidays based on religious tradition or traditional values such as patriotism is not to be believed.
This atheist has always loved Christmas. Just don't care for the far right wing fascists who tell me how to celebrate the winter solstice. After all; That is the reason for the season.
Season's Greetings to all, no matter what your beliefs.
"But they will try. In the meantime, pass the gravy."
Legislation is not the only way to wage war on a culture.
In fact it’s the least likely way that they would do it. Those in legislative bodies have to win re election and aren’t going to overtly or attack traditional American values. Likely they try to do it with cultural influences in media and academia and they also resort to unelected persons in black robes to impose their war on America and its exceptional values.
Please try to define 'traditional American values' and I will tell you why you are so wrong.
[Deleted]
it does seem that many of the conservative religious minded are hungering for a war of some kind (which also includes their religion they adhere to, it's very much a war mindset) - they look for a "war" everywhere they can including with holidays it seems.
The bigotry and bias in some quarters in America against Holidays that are religiously based or promote traditional American values is plain and clear to see in academia, the media, and internet media and social media and in government in areas where progressives have political power.
wow... you totally missed the "war on Christmas".... do you think the "war on Christmas" is a "war on Christianity" ? *sigh*
define the "traditional American values" - and explain why "progressives" don't have them (oddly, i see many progressives with those "traditional" families celebrating Christmas... but please, tell me otherwise)
So all you do here on NT is promote divisiveness? That's what Russian bots do.
Thanks to far right wing gerrymandering and polling place shut downs in poorer neighborhoods it's quite obvious that the far right wing is morally bankrupt. The far right just can't win without cheating/skullduggery.
Just like Trump, the far right wing lies on an hourly basis out of desperation.
This atheist wishes you a very merry Christmas MrFrost
Merry Christmas from a Deist...which is as close to atheism as one can get without being there.
There is no "war" on the holidays.
agreed.... leftists attacks on our holidays is not an actual war... just hilarious.
if some on the left think that is a war? they have already lost.
Merry Christmas
Where in the article does it mention the principal's political affiliation - after all it is Nebraska.
As far as I know Heartland is not a leftist & he/she put this here & keeps using the word "war" all over the forum.
Lost what? You think people on the left don't celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day or the 4th of July? What a crock.
sure "some" on the left celebrate those things.
but, no matter how ya wish to spin it....
the attacks on religious, and patriotic holidays are not coming from the right.
the good news is those attacks only make us dig our heels in deeper.
Merry Christmas again.... I'm out of here for the duration... c-ya next year
What attacks? There are no attacks. Now you run & hide because you have no true argument other than memes that are put out by agitators. No war, no attacks on the holidays listed are occurring.
Also - you never addressed any of my points. Sigh - should have known better that to think to have an honest discussion.
First you agree there is no war on Christmas, then you turn right around and whine about how you're under attack.
Imagine if you will, that there was not only "fire truck red" but "Christian Red" which was a bright shiny red that every Church in America was painted. It was easily recognizable as "Christian Red" and many towns, over the last hundred years, had painted their homes "Christian Red" and other things in their community "Christian Red", like their Schools, their court houses and their town squares. And since the vast majority in the community were Christians who supported everything being painted with their namesake color, the voices that complained were easily drowned out and ignored.
Then, many years later, there was an underground movement to start repainting the Schools, court houses and town squares more inclusive colors like "Islam Purple", "Atheist Blue", "Hindu Yellow" and "Buddhist Grey". Now, none of those "Christian Red" Churches were being asked to repaint in "Islam Purple", and no private homes were being asked to repaint, just public institutions meant for the use of all citizens regardless of which color or faith you prefer. But since there's been so much uproar by the defenders of "Christian Red", dissenters are simply asking to repaint everything in "Neutral Brown" so no public institution is colored by any specific faith.
Now, would you consider the movement to repaint public institutions in inclusive or Neutral colors a "war" on "Christian Red"? Would you even consider it an "attack"? Or, would you, like most reasonable persons, accept that "Christian Red" deserves no special status in secular society thus repainting something once "Christian Red" isn't an attack at all, it's a defense of religious freedom and equality for all other faiths as well as for non-believers.
Merry Christmas to you and everyone here too. I’m glad to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season. You are right about where the attacks on the holidays are not coming from and that the attacks from certain elements of the secular progressive left will only make us dig our heels in deeper and double down on our support for them.
When fascism comes to America it will be cloaked in the flag and dragging a cross (the far right).
I like holidays as much as the next guy, but won't go to my knees to celebrate fascism.
It already came in the the form of Obama’s car czar and auto and bank bailouts where the taxpayer got stuck bailiing out businesses. A cornerstone of fascism that is the opposite of a free market where well run businesses succeed and the failures die.
Nonsense! No principal banned candy canes because they were "J" (jesus) shaped. Why do you lie like this?
Where were you when I posted this?
As well, do you think that CBS reports fake news?
Perhaps you should apologize for accusing The Magic Eight Ball for telling lies.
sorry to break the news but fascism is a leftwing thing
when the right starts trying to disparage or shut up people who disagree as the left does?
then you may call us fascist also.
Sorry Veronica, there's too much overwhelming evidence.
First, the obvious...She has a Phd. then, if you look closely, she has teeth.
Married to the same man and no children in jail.
No drunken brawls reported.
And the clincher...no history of underage same sex molestation.
Nevermind that she was actually following the established policy of the school system demanding secular displays. Just jump on those headlines boys and girls!
fascism is extreme rightwing, no matter how many among the politically and mentally challenged try to claim the opposite
Maybe you should familiarize yourself with the policy of this school system.before you join up with the evil liberal proncipal lie.
What's "a little overboard" is using the term " outlawed" about the candy canes.
Chances are if she left them out some nutcase would remind her it's not a cane it's a "J".
Anybody bother to look up the restraints in this school system policy?
But no, go after the principal.
The bank and car bailouts were a Geo. W. Bush policy.
.
It was law whether Obama supported it or not. The car czar existed to look after the taxpayer's interests because we became the majority shareholder. If there was more regulation of both the banking sector and the auto industry those actions wouldn't have been needed but somehow conservatives think that corporate deregulation is always a net positive for the country, despite what history has proven. The bank and auto CEOs should have done 20 years in the greybar hotel for their reckless actions but in the US there are many people who think that CEOs are a god.
SWING and a miss. Fascism is, always has been and always will be right wing.
Fascism ( / ˈ f æ ʃ ɪ z əm / ) is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism , [1] [2] [3] [4] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, [5] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. [6] The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I before it spread to other European countries . [6] Opposed to liberalism , Marxism and anarchism , fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum . [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
Fascists saw World War I as a revolution that brought massive changes to the nature of war, society, the state and technology. The advent of total war and the total mass mobilization of society had broken down the distinction between civilians and combatants. A "military citizenship" arose in which all citizens were involved with the military in some manner during the war. [12] [13] The war had resulted in the rise of a powerful state capable of mobilizing millions of people to serve on the front lines and providing economic production and logistics to support them, as well as having unprecedented authority to intervene in the lives of citizens. [12] [13]
Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties. [14] Such a state is led by a strong leader—such as a dictator and a martial government composed of the members of the governing fascist party—to forge national unity and maintain a stable and orderly society. [14] Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature and views political violence, war and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation. [15] [16] [17] [18] Fascists advocate a mixed economy , with the principal goal of achieving autarky (national economic self-sufficiency) through protectionist and interventionist economic policies. [19]
Since the end of World War II in 1945, few parties have openly described themselves as fascist and the term is instead now usually used pejoratively by political opponents. The descriptions neo-fascist or post-fascist are sometimes applied more formally to describe parties of the far-right with ideologies similar to, or rooted in, 20th-century fascist movements. [6] [20]
Did ya have to make 'em cry...on Christmas day no less? Lol
Your source has a very obvious conservative bias, so it isn't surprising that they are trying to deflect from the fact that fascism is an extremely conservative policy.
How can fascism not be a far-right idea?
Which of the 14 points of fascism are a liberal idea?
How can fascism not be a conservative idea when it gives almost all power to the state and rallies around the flag, corporate control and military might? Mussolini, like Hitler, was also a dictator.
conservatives do not believe in all power to big govt.
we believe in small, limited govt and keep our 2nd amendment to keep it that way.
the all powerful big govt is a leftwing thing.
did the left not try to give the federal govt more power over our healthcare? and fine us for not playing?
of course they did... and those are the fascists.
fascists also try to silence opposing political thought... again. that is a leftwing thing.
LMAO!!!! No, not true at all.
More than once I’ve imagined you, xx, sitting back and laughing your ass off at your own preposterous seeds and posts. Tell us the truth, you’re punking us, right?
Actually I’m laying down in bed with pneumonia being treated since Saturday resting so that I can make it to my relatives home tomorrow for Christmas. To answer your question, I wouldn’t seed something here unless I was largely in agreement with what it was saying. I really am a pro capitalist person blending conservative, populist, and libertarian with a touch of social conservative mixed in. I am an evangelical Protestant Christian who believes in and advocates for the existence of angels, literal one week creation, and the great global flood. I really do identify with CIS, FAIR, Concerned Women For America, Liberty Council, Family Research Council, Focus On the Family, and Alliance Defending Freedom. That is who and what I am.
Merry Christmas, xx.
hope you feel better and get to enjoy Christmas
Thanks! The same wishes are extended to you as well.
thank you! May you enjoy Christmas Eve and Day as well.
That doesn't make it, or you, right.
A touch? Seems more like a full on grope fest of social conservatism. Lol
Except there is not one iota of evidence to support any of those BELIEFS!
That's certainly not something I would be proud of.
Despite our, shall we say...differences of opinions, I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery and a happy holiday with family. Pneumonia sucks! Especially if it gets bad enough to the point when antibiotics becomes necessary. Tis the season for it though. In addition to plenty of rest, I recommend hot green tea (with lemon if preferred), plenty of water (hydration makes mobilizing lung secretions easier), Foods with high protein and vitamin C and zinc (take supplements if necessary), and of course, some plain old fashioned chicken soup. A little Dayquil and a cough suppressant can curb symptoms while visiting family. Wear a mask too so you do not inadvertently spread germs to others. Also, make sure you wash your hands frequently and have a bottle of purell handy. I cannot stress proper hand hygiene enough, especially during cold/flu season.
Sorry to hear that.
Not too many years ago I had 2 cases of pneumonia that lasted 6 months each. Don't even want to mention the work situation.
Both times the professionals could not cure me. I added 1 thing which worked both times. These days, if I get any respiratory infection I take these at the get go. 3 caps 3 times a day until finished. Not the liquid soft gel caps. They are useless.
That stuff works. Continue taking your prescribed stuff too.
Hope you get better.
But all you seed and post is far right wing propaganda written by the fascists at the Heartland Institute.
[deleted]
The difference between us is that no matter what our disagreements on virtually every issue, I’d never say or wish such a fate on anyone else. I do hope that you do have a very Merry Christmas, and I do mean it.
I have also considered the possibility that for the past ten years C4P has been a tool that keeps us commenting.
HA you are aware of the ''Doctrine of Discovery'' and the Papal Bull, ''Inter Caetera'' of the Catholic Chruch aren't you. Why would this article lie like it has regarding Columbus.
The so called ''War on Christmas'' is another BS, made up fantasy of the right...
Another ''FAKE NEWS'' article, well done HA.
the war on Xmas meme is the opening salvo for lowlife hypocrites to spend the next 3 months climbing up on their crosses
Yes, it seems that the author of the seed is not only ignorant of early history but of recent history also.

as the seeder is unavailable
and some cannot help themselves, even on Christmas, to stay on topic.
